Every year, each person in the U.S. is responsible for submitting a federal income tax statement (“filing a tax return”) to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the U.S. Treasury Department. Additionally, any person who earns income from Hawaii sources must file a state tax return with the State of Hawaii Department of Taxation. See General Guidelines of U.S. & Hawaii Taxes for Nonresident Aliens for general information on these procedures.

IMPORTANT: UH staff cannot

general information only. If you need assistance with preparing your
tax return, contact the Internal Revenue Service, State Department of
Taxation, or a certified public accountant.
